Hello Lucy, Hi everyone - welcome to the the 18 and Over Book Blogger Giveaway Hop ~ are you ready for fun and prizes??!! Well, we got four days packed with fun, yummy reading, and prizes. There's plenty of places to visit for sure, leave a comment, and be entered to win, every day for the next four.

I'd love if you'd consider following my blog *smile* ...always great authors, their books, and wonderful giveaways happening here a number of times during the week. Excellent way to meet new authors to read.

Living in her remote
cottage in the woods, Heidi doesn’t get many visitors. So when she spots a fox
in her garden, she’s delighted. However, her joy quickly turns to dismay when
she thinks the beautiful creature may be injured. Heading out to see how she
can help, Heidi is astounded when something happens that makes her question her
eyesight – not to mention her sanity. Once she gets over her shock and
discovers the reason behind the peculiar encounter, Heidi is mighty glad that
the fox chose her garden to visit.

Excerpt:

A movement in the garden caught Heidi’s attention immediately. She
peered out into the dark, her hands still immersed in the washing up bowl as
she tried to catch another glimpse of whatever was lurking in the darkness
outside her kitchen window. She wasn’t frightened, merely curious. She lived so
far out in the wilderness that it could only be an animal, and the last time
she’d checked, they couldn’t open locked doors. So she was perfectly safe.

What made her nocturnal visitor so unusual was its proximity to
the house. Animals were braver in the city, where they’d become used to humans.
But out here, they were still timid and very wary of man. Heidi’s little
cottage was practically screaming that it was occupied, with its smoking
chimney and blazing lights and yet the creature – whatever it was – was almost
outside the window. Heidi frowned. Something definitely wasn’t right.

Another flash of movement, and Heidi finally identified her
visitor. The beautiful russet fur, big bushy tail with flecks of white – there
was a fox in her garden.

Grinning, Heidi rushed to dry her hands on a tea towel and then
moved across the room to flick off the light switch. She waited until her eyes
became accustomed to the darkness, then made her way back to the window. She
spied the fox immediately, crouched down beside the hedge surrounding her
garden, as though it was hunting something. A life-long nature lover, Heidi smiled,
truly appreciating the stunning beauty of the creature. But the longer Heidi
watched the animal, the more confused she became.

The fox hadn’t moved for
some time. If it was hunting, surely it would have pounced by now? A sinking
feeling rolled through Heidi’s stomach. Perhaps it wasn’t stalking after all,
but lying down because it was injured? She knew that out here, if the fox was
hurt, it had been attacked by another predator, rather than had a run-in with a
moving vehicle. After all, the only vehicle around these parts was hers, so
unless her truck had gone allChristine, it
certainly wasn’t that.

No, it had to be another animal. It was survival of the fittest,
the food chain and all that. She knew how these things worked, but there was no
way she could leave the poor creature suffering in her garden. Not if she could
do something about it.

Heidi began to plan exactly what to do. She knew that if the fox
was injured and couldn’t move, it could snap at her in self-defence, it having
no idea that her intentions were good. She desperately wanted to help the
vulnerable creature, but preferably without ending up needing stitches and a
tetanus shot.

As Heidi gazed into the darkness, trying to work out a solution,
she lost her mind. At least, that’s the conclusion she came to as her eyes
relayed an image to her brain which couldn’t possibly be accurate.
